TIRES
- The defect
- Gulf States Toyota, Inc. (GST) is recalling certain 2022-2024 model year Highlander L and Highlander LE vehicles equipped with the Blackout Package that includes 20" black alloy wheels and tires. The installed tires have an insufficient load rating. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
- What it can cause
- Tires with an insufficient load rating may be overloaded and fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- GST will inspect and replace the tires as necessary, and install a new tire information label as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 8, 2024. Owners may contact GST customer service at 1-800-444-1074. GST's number for this recall is 24R1.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 4,869 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 74% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Toyota vehicles have been recalled over the tires 16 times before this, most recently in July 2023 as 23V485000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 451 complaints with NHTSA, 147 of them before this campaign was filed. 10 of those name the tires, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in November 2021, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V128000 (seats), 25V872000 (seat belts), 25V744000 (back over prevention), 25V595000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Gulf States Toyota, Inc. with NHTSA on June 6, 2024 as campaign 24V419000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
